Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9106363A1] A process for treating a gas stream to remove or recover a condensable component. The process involves a condensation step and a membrane concentration step. The condensation step may be followed by the membrane step, or vice versa. The process can be designed to yield only two product streams: one, the condensed liquid (5), ready for use, reuse of discard, and two, a residue gas stream (8), which in most cases will be clean enough for direct discharge or reuse. This result is achieved by recycling other streams within the process. Recovery of 90 % or more of the condensable component can be achieved. The process offers substantial energy savings compared with condensation alone.
